Q I haven’t seen Gillian Anderson in anything recently. What has she been up to?

PHOTOS: Celebrity Action Figures A Yes. The Chicago-born star’s post X-Files career has involved a series of theater roles and British period dramas. She was nominated for a BAFTA, an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her role as Lady Dedlock in BBC’s adaptation of Bleak House (2005). Since then, she appeared in The Last King of Scotland, The Mighty Celt and X-Files: I Want To Believe. She’s just been added to the cast of BBC2’s The Crimson Petal and the White, about the seedy world of prostitutes in Victorian London.
